Very successful, smart, and willing to share knowledge.  His inverted pail
feeding stations use a ring of tiny holes that weep a small amount of syrup
around the rim (any excess catches in the rim).  He is trying to duplicate
a series of flowers.  Saves him the time of addressing each hive.

Another large beek that I was recently speaking with tried using a series
of drip hoses radiating out from a drum like a spider's legs, with each
emitter hole functioning as a flower.  He gave it up.
